How long does nanny training take?
It depends on your nanny’s existing experience and how much you want covered. Many families in Dubai and Abu Dhabi complete the core newborn care training over one to a few sessions, with the programme tailored to the gaps your midwife identifies at the start.
Does the training happen in our home?
Yes, we can train in your home for the private option, this includes face-to-face theory and hands-on practice tailored to your household. We also offer group training, which combines online theory sessions with in-person, hands-on practice. Whichever format you choose, your nanny leaves fully prepared and confident.
What does the nanny training cover?
Training covers newborn care essentials, hygiene and infection prevention, feeding and bottle preparation, safe sleep and settling, recognizing the warning signs in a newborn, and building calm daily routines. The exact focus is shaped around your household and your baby’s stage.
Can you train a nanny before our baby arrives?
Absolutely. Many parents arrange training during pregnancy so their nanny is ready from day one. Your midwife adapts the programme for an expectant household and can return for follow-up coaching once your baby is home.
Will our nanny receive any proof of training?
Yes. On completion, your nanny receives a NativaCare record confirming the newborn care training she has completed, giving you a clear summary of the skills covered and the standards she was trained to.

Do you train nannies for toddlers or older children?
Our training is dedicated to the newborn stage. NativaCare specialises in newborn nanny training in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so every session focuses on newborn care, feeding, hygiene, safe sleep, and spotting early warning signs, not toddler or older-child childcare. If you’re expecting a baby, or have a newborn at home and want your nanny properly prepared, we’d love to help.
